Groups of eight notes are known as octaves. This series of eight notes occupy the interval between, and including, two notes, one having twice or half the frequency of vibration of the other.
Octave comes from the Latin word â??octavusâ?? meaning eight. In music, it is an interval of notes with 12 half steps in a chromatic scale.
A scale is a series of notes in ascending order (usually), beginning with tonic through each tone in the key ie: CDEFGABC. An interval is the distance between any two notes, for example: the interval between A and C is a minor third.
There are 5 different notes in a slendro scale. Each interval is an equal division of an octave. (i.e. each interval is about 2.2 semitones.)
